So both steve jobs and bill gates dropped out of college eh? Guess that must be the trick to getting rich :P

This video is so beautiful ... Follow your heart, do not give up your dreams and live each day as was the last...He was talking about death, and he is not here anymore...but I bet that he was a very happy man...not just because he was rich, but because he worked with something that he really loved...

@cintia33100 Unfortunately, the people that make Apple products aren't very happy men.

Being 32, I still haven't found what I'm looking in the field of work or love. Didn't settle for less, I just keep looking and try connecting the dots.

Very inspiring speech. Thanks Steve.

Jobs was kind of a douchebag, but everybody's too gutless and hypnotized by their flashing gadgets and his wealth to admit it. You do realize his fortune was made on the backs of exploited workers in China, right? Talk is cheap, Mr. Jobs. I would've been impressed if you'd made a real stand against the situation in China or brought those jobs back to the U.S.

We spend most of our lives working. Basically, our lives consist of working. And that is why Steve's words about love, are so important. The way to happiness in life, is finding, and doing, what you love.
